WLGO Presents 2018 Check

By: Chris Brown

World’s Largest Golf Outing officially closed the book on the
2018 event last week, presenting a check to Fisher House Foundation at the
Billy Casper Golf 30th Anniversary Celebration. The team gathered at
Reunion Resort (Kissimmee, Fla.) to highlight the importance and beneficiaries
of the event, now in its ninth year running. The World's Largest Golf Outing
(WLGO), an annual charitable golf tournament conceived by Peter Hill, Chairman
and CEO of Billy Casper Golf, brings together players from across the country
to "golf for good."

Since 2016, WLGO has partnered with Fisher House Foundation,
a network of 82 comfort homes around the world providing free lodging for US military
and veterans’ families while their loved one is receiving medical care. 2018 proved
another successful edition of the event, raising a total of $345,033.

The check presentation was one of many WLGO highlights at
the 30th Anniversary Celebration. Those in attendance were moved as Fisher
House Foundation Chief of Staff Mary Considine and special guests Craig and
Toni Gross shared stories of the impact that Fisher House has on many lives. The
Gross family is a Gold Star Family, as they lost their son Cpl. Frank R. Gross
in 2011 while serving in Afghanistan. Their story of perseverance, commitment
to service, and finding hope through Fisher House Foundation inspired the room
and kicked off the 2019 WLGO season with authority.

With over $4.1 million raised to date, WLGO and Billy Casper
Golf hope to see 2019 secure even more donations to support Fisher House Foundation
and its expansion efforts. Funds raised from the 2016 and 2017 event helped
open a new Fisher House in Orlando, and funds from 2018 are in place to make
even more positive change in other areas of the country. Registration for host
courses is live and can be found on
